My girls (6 and 8) love the Tiny Titans and I enjoy reading them as well with them. I probably wouldn't buy them on my own, but they serve as a great introduction to young kids into the world of comics. Some of the jokes fall flat, others actually require a sense of the "real" heroes in the "real" DC world, but my girls just move past that stuff to the stories and strips they like. There are very few comics that lend themselves to kids and even fewer to girls, so I'll support this series as long as my girls keep reading.

I love these graphic novels! This series appeals to even our youngest readers, and is great way to introduce kids to graphic novels. There are awesome illustrations, funny moments kids will really dig, and silliness. Some of the references to DC Heroes will go over their heads, but the story has enough silliness and interest to keep kids reading!

Tiny Titans: The Treehouse and Beyond! picks up where the previous trade paperback left off, collecting the next six issues (33–38) of the on-going 2008 series.

Like the previous trade paperbacks, Tiny Titans: The Treehouse and Beyond! is composed of several individual mini-stories ranging from two to six pages in length with no overall cohesive storyline, yet each chapter has one overall theme. The cast of characters is rather large and it once again is expanded a lot. Like the previous trade paperback, a child could do an activity for fun and a pin-up poster that they could hang somewhere at the end of each chapter.

Tiny Titans: The Treehouse and Beyond! opens with a Robin issue. It starts with Barbara Gordon and Robin taking Jason and Tim Toddler to Aunt Harriet's Day Care Center where they also meet other new students at the day care: Stephanie, Carrie, and Cassandra. During their time there, Jason and Tim Toddler gave Robin suits to everyone there Miss Martian, Jericho, and Wildebeest – only Cassandra is not wearing a Robin suit, because she wants a Batman one. Furthermore, Talia and Ra's al Ghul brings a baby Damian to Wayne Manor dressed up as a Robin. If that is not enough, Kroc finds some discarded Robin suits and dresses up as a Robin.

There is an issue where Raven and everyone mistakes Superboy and Zatara, because they look alike. The following issue, where Robin and Talon discuss the multiverse and inadvertently opens up a portal to have all the Tiny Titans of the Multiple Earth cross into their universe. There is another issue where Terra takes Kid Devil, Hotspot, and Beast Boy to the centre of the Earth, a Shazam issue, and an underwater issue featuring Aqualad, Aquagirl, Lagoon Boy, and Arthur Jr.

There is a reappearance of the Pet Club, but held in Atlantis and featuring the Aquaman family. In the same issue, there is an introduction of a new club – Just Us Cow meeting with Batcow, Aquacow (newly introduced), and Flaming Head Cow (introduced when Terra went to the center of the Earth). I am unsure what they discuss, but it is being held at the Batcave.

Art Baltazar and Franco Aureliani penned the entire trade paperback and for the most part, it was written rather well. It is quite funny, giving many Easter Eggs and allusion to comic events that have happened in the main continuity, which is rather clever for the older people who may be reading this series.

Art Baltazar does double duty as he penciled the entire trade paperback as well and because he was the only penciler, the artistic flow of the trade paperback flowed exceptionally well. The penciling was done exceptionally well. It has a cartoonish quality, which is rather apropos to this series.

All in all, Tiny Titans: The Treehouse and Beyond! is a rather wonderful continuation for the series and I can't wait to read the next trade paperback.

More of the same... volume 6 this time... luckily they don't need to be read in order, when the 6 year old is picking out what order to get them based on how cool the cover looks hahaha

Tiny Titans is a little funny, but there’s something about the morals that’s getting me. Maybe it’s time for me to grow up and say goodbye to Tiny Titans.

2.5/5.

[Sarah Jean · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an adorable graphic novel for kids. My daughter and I had fun reading it together.

[Lexie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aw Yeah Titans let's get our parallel Earth selves happening in this volume--Speedy is Quickly! Kid Flash is Flash Kid! Wonder Girl is Girl of Wonder! Plus let's not forget the all Shazam special :)

I've said it before and I mean it, these might be technically for little kids, but they are so freaking hilarious. Art Baltazar and Franco take some of the stupidest plot devices from past and present DC stories and rationalize them in a kid friendly way. I love it.

[Laurel · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the best collection of the four volumes I've read of this kid friendly series. For a fan of the 'real' DC Universe, Tiny Titans is true satire and that makes it a lot of fun. Some of the jokes fall flat and some stories work better than others, but overall it's a good example of a book capable of appealing to multi-generational readers.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another volume in this great series. This time it looks at how certain titans look the same, parallel earths, and introduces the Marvel family. Theres some fun in jokes for those familiar with DC continuity but it isn't necessary to enjoy the book. A very good read.

[Nicolas · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love the deep cut DC references they pepper throughout. This series really works for all ages.

3 1/2 stars. Adorable art, appropriate for young audiences. I was on a Young Justice kick after watching the stellar short lived television show, so I'm going through comic books now. :)

[Jenna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute but skimmed the multi-universe chapters. But very, very cute and fun tongue-in-cheek. Liked the beginning bit with the whole attack of the Robins and Superboy confusion.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too many Robins is too funny. These corny gags never get old.

[Isabella · Rating 5 out of 5]

omg i love how they introduced all the different robins/batgirls/etc

it was so funny and clever!

Damian was the cherry on top of the cake :P

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was bound to happen-even the Tiny Titans aren't safe from parallel Earth visitors. Plus, characters are switched, even MORE new characters appear, and it's just as fun to read as the others.

[Mehsi · Rating 2 out of 5]

The jokes are getting a bit old. The pet club, the side-kick stuff, the batcave. Same old all the time. :(

[Beth Vredenburg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love the Tiny Titans. Good intro for young readers into some classic DC characters

[Andrew · Rating 5 out of 5]

Aw yeah!

[A S G Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny but cool even for a teen

[Rachel Aranda · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was the first time a cover had both confused and intrigued me from this series. Still I knew that I would not be disappointed in the stories and artwork inside. So very glad that it was the truth.
